NECKSCARF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,053, dated November as, 1882.

Application filed September 16, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH L. STRAUSS, of New York, county of New York, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckwear-Scarfs; and Iv do hereby declare that the following is a clear and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to so form the front of a scarf that the same presents the appearance of a laced shirt-bosom.

Referring to the drawing, the figure represents a front View of a scarf embodying my invention.

A represents a scarf of usual construction, with the exception that the front piece, I), in this case is made of or in two parts, 0 0?. These two'parts c d are held together by the lacecord 6, which passes through the eyelet-holes f, and is tied at the top of the front piece into a bow-knot, g.

The lacing may or may not begin at the bottom of the front piece, and the two parts 0 01 may be held together by stitches.

To give the front piece the appearance of a shirtbosom, I run two or more rows of stitching, it, on each of the parts 0 d, as shown inthe drawing.

The front piece of the scarf may be made of any material, and any kind of lace-cording may be used.

1 am aware that the same result may be accomplished by stamping the outlines of the lacing and stitching upon the front piece of a scarf. 1 am also aware that the same result can be accomplished without forming the front piece in two parts.

Having thus described my invention, I do sire to claim- 1. In a neckwear-scarf, the front piece, I), made of two pieces and provided with eyelets f, lace-cord e, and stitching h, so as to give the front piece the appearance of a laced shirt-bosom, as andfor the purpose set forth.

2. In a neckwear-scarf, the front piece, b,

given the appearance of a laced ShlIbbOSOlIl V by stitching or stamping the outlines upon the same, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
